The AMI Difference

In the world of investment cast firearms and components there has been a lot of stigma surrounding poor finish, strength, and fit of the final product. With a team having 60 plus years of aerospace casting experience, AMI defense is set on subverting those notions.

When we finalized the development of our 1911 frames and slides, we sent them through a process known as F.A.I. (First articles of inspection) and we did it the same way that any aircraft part would before production. Through this process we can guarantee that your build will not only perform but, last a lifetime.

We can also ensure a high level of strength in our frames by utilizing a technique called hot isostatic pressing or H.I.P. This process uses a high-pressure chamber and heat to collapse any internal void creating a uniform grain structure. We can produce not only a beautiful frame, but a slide that can stand up to abuse with no breakages.

Our goal at AMI Defense is to provide the end user with aerospace quality products they can be proud of carrying or showcasing in their personal collection. We have taken our experience, our pride, and dedication to quality to create firearm parts that build a legacy for the home builder, gunsmith, or family shop.

AMI Defense is built on aerospace engineering, sustained by an enthusiasm for shooting sports, and driven by the desire to build your legend.
